Where do you come from

I think this topic has been done before but I performed a search before posting and no matches. So I figured I would start this.
It is as the title reads, where are you from as in what country were you born or live in etc. You can feel free to give as much information as you see fit and of course that is appropriate.

So I guess I'l get things started. am from the US I was born and grew up here in American and I honestly could not have seen it happen any other way. I only speak one fluent languidge and that is English. Though I know a little of some others. So thats about bit for me.

Not really a lot of people from outside America think we have it all and everything is easy. Though it is not in fact I think some countries their people have it a bit easier then we do.

... I'm resisting the urge to point out how oblivious you are, and how hilarious it is for me. Also resisiting the urge to ask if you know how to read, and the meaning between "Living in America" and "Living in an American"

I was born in Canada. Specifically, I was born in Newfoundland, moved to Calgary after three years, and then moved to Vancouver after six year.

Half of my ethnic background is a mystery because one of my parents was adopted. As far as I know I`m 1/4 German (German speaking people from the Austrian-Hungarian Empire, but came from the Danube Swabian Germans) and I`m 1/4 Irish/English (my last name is English, but I have a lot of Irish relatives). At the same time, this is all I`ve been told my parents and relatives, and some of it is my own conclusion.

If you combine it with water under a bridge + that i am scared of heights, you should get it why i say "I hate the water/I hate subways".

I hate the water.
I hate subways(when i have to be on it long -.-').
I hate planes.
I hate boats.
I hate stairs.

I was born in Greece on the island of Crete and lived there for only about 2 and half years before moving to Canada. With my little exposure to Greek as well as the fact that I started being taught english early by my parents, I get to take alot of pride in being the only member of my family besides my brother to speak comprehensible english.

Other then that, there is not much to tell. My family immigrated here when I was young and I've lived in Ontario ever since. I just moved from living in the city of Kingston to here in Ottawa but I'm going home as the semester is wrapping up for summer. I've done a fair bit of traveling in my lifetime and I plan to do a lot more. I've only been to a few places in Canada, though. I've actually been in more American States then Canadian provinces, lol.

...Singapura. (Singapore.) I speak and write english and chinese and know a few chinese dialects like hokkien and cantonese. Unlike most singaporeans I do not speak singlish. I like my proper spelling and grammar. There Are No Four Seasons Here, which sucks. And the education system is kinda tough too.

To cold on the winter though.
Summers = To warm, i lie down and do nothing at summers(TRUE, if not driving my bike around very much and then go in and sleep), and winter, well, i sit at computer with a tasty toast at my side.

indonesia, east java. but i also have an aparent in singapore at devonshire. i can speak indonesian amd english and a little little bit of japanese and chinese. although i hate it here because 1, weather is terrible. sometimes it's raining when you could actually see the sun. and it almost always rains in mondays. 2, indonesia is known for its corruption!! and much, much, more...
